It doesn't sound like the VA does a very good job, from what I've learned from you, Tom. Do you think that is generally true?

generally, they have people trained to deal with combat vets, but alot of us are not combat vets, our introuction to war came at the end of a belt, switch, fist, foot, riding crop, and other means to gross to mention here. They call us PTSD have same signs as combat vet, but we are more dangerous, you corned us we will attack without remorse. My Erin is the only one that has stood between me and my exit and I have not attacked. We strike out verbally where combat vets just strike out, We have a grea amount of strength when needed and can maintain for awhile. We use hate like others use love. Really unless you have been in my shoes really hard to explain. Those of us that are PTSD from childhood experiences should not be with other people because we do not feel like others

Hi, Crystal. I'm fine, thanks. Just a bit of stiffness and soreness due to the weather but in good spirits nonetheless. How are you doing?

I am uncertain what to say, Tom. It sounds like you feel very isolated because of your PTSD ... Yet, you get along well here with others, I think. There's a lot of hurt that turned to hate in you, I think. It's understandable to me because you were abused as a child. Abuse does terrible things to a person ...
